in this old town - hildegard knef lyrics
[verse 1]
empty paper bags from bread and b*tter
crumpled cartons void of cigarettes
endlessly, they drift towards the gutter
walking down this road i can’t forget
in the park, i used to pick the flowers
and give mother her birthday bouquet
[chorus]
in this old town
i know my way
this good old town
of childhood days
though this old town
has seen a change
in this old town
i don’t feel strange
[verse 2]
quite nearby, there used to be a lamplight
by a lover’s seat where young girls hoped
that someday, they’d find a shining love*light
my first love turned out to be a joke
all at once, i felt the urge to wander
came the dawn and i was far from home
[chorus]
but this old town
when i’m alone
is still the town
that i call home
though this old town
has seen a change
in this old town
i don’t feel strange
[verse 3]
standing, waiting in some railway station
who said it’s a gateway to the world?
when i reached my latest destination
then i knew the whole trip was absurd
not until some lonely nights of sorrow
did i know that i’d come back to stay
[chorus]
in this old town
i know my way
this good old town
of childhood days
though this old town
has seen a change
in this old town
i don’t feel strange
